In volume third of the Memoirs of the Duke of Sully under the of the year 1603, is ihe following character, (as given by the Duke) of Servin, the celebrated French comedian. ‘i,he begining of June I set out for Calias, where 1 was to embark, having Witfif; tijife a retinue of upwards pf gentlemen, or who called themselves such, a considerable number the first distinction Just, be fore my departure, old Servin came and presented his son to me* and begged ! would, make hidn a man of some worth apt, honesty ; but -he confesed *was what he dare not hope— not through any want of understanding or capacity in the young man, but from his inclination to all kinds of Vice.
